BAG-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,624, dated May 26, 1885.

Application filed August 23, 1884. (No model.)

To (1% whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Isaac B. JENNINGS, of McPherson, in the county of McPherson and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and 5 useful Improvements in Ba-gl'lolders; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being to had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in bag'holders; and it consists, first, in the com bination of a frame-plate having guideloops,

IS a standard which is adapted to slide on said plate and provided with rack-teeth, a bagholder secured to the upper end of the standard, and a lever which is pivoted to the plate,

and which is provided with a segment having teeth for engaging with raclrteeth upon the standard; second, in the combination of the frame-plate provided with a projection and rack-teeth, means for securing said plate in place, and guiding-loops for the standard,with the standard, having rack-tceth, bag-holder secured to said standard, an operating-lever having a toothed segment and pivoted on a projection on the frame-plate, and a lockingbolt on the lever, as will be more fully de- 0 scribed and claimed hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same, showing a portion of the frameplate broken away in order to disclose the rack-teeth of the standard.

A represents a frame-plate which is pro vided at its extremities with the openings B, of suflicient size to receive the heads of the screw-bolts which are employed to secure the plate in position. From the upper sides of these openings B extend the open slots 0, which correspond in diameter to the diameter of the bolts. Loops D are formed upon the face of the plate A, and from the center of one side of said plate extends a projection, E,which is provided with a central opening, F, and a segmental rack, G.

H represents a standard, which is held in position upon the plate by means of the loops D. This standard has secured to its upper end a bag-holding device, I, which is provided with hooks K at its extremities; or any suitable means for securing the bag to the holder may be employed. The standard H is provided on its rear side with thetoothed rackbar L.

M represents a lever, which is provided on its inner end with a segmental rack, N. A bolt, 0, passes through the pivotal end of this lever, and through the opening F in the projection E, and thus pivots said lever to the frame-plate. The teeth of the segment N mesh with the rack-teeth of the reciprocating stand ard. By raising or lowering the outer end of the lever M it will be very readily understood that the bag-holder can be raised and lowered to any height desired.

In order to secure the holder at any desired height, I provide a locking-bolt, P, which is guided in ways that are secured on the rear side of the lever, and this bolt can be caused to engage with the teeth of the segment G, and thus loclr the lever in place.

By having all of the operating mechanism attached to the plate which is adapted to be attached to and as readily detached from any suitable objectsuch as a post, standard, or a wallmy bagholder is rendered portable, and its efficiency and utility greatly enhanced.

Having thus described my invention, I Q claim- 1. In a bag-holder, the combination of the frame-plate adapted to be suspended from or secured to a suitable support, and which is provided with suitable guidingloops, a single standard, H, which passes through the loops, and is provided at its upper end with the bagholder, and with teeth formed upon one of its edges, and an operatinglever having a toothed segment engaging with the teeth on the standard, substantially as shown.

2. The plate A, provided with a projection and rack teeth, means for securing said plate in place, and loops D, in combination with the standard I'I, having rack-teeth L, bag-holder I, secured to said standard, lever M, having toothed segment N, said lever being pivoted to the projection of the plate, and a bolt, P, secured to the lever and engaging with the rack'teeth G, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ISAAC B. JENNINGS.
